When rapper Nicki Minaj burst onto the music scene everyone took note. The industry had been missing a female rapper for so long and Nicki?s fierce and raunchy lyrics launched her into the spotlight, all thanks to Lil Wayne who laid off the sizzurp long enough get some work done and sign her.
She has dominated the charts since the release of album Pink Friday and has a legion of fans she christened ?Barbz? who stay loyal even if she did change direction and start singing about how starships were meant to fly. Nicki Minaj loves to experiment with her look and has worn some pretty outlandish outfits in her time but her trademark bubblegum pink lips would always complete her signature look. Nicki Minaj without makeup is barely recognizable.
Nicki Minaj rehearsing without makeup is very different to her usual heavily made up look. It's a shock to see what her actual eyes look like for once without a ton of cosmetics covering them.
The photo below shows Nicki before her Barbie transformation looking totally natural and she looks great. Without the bold lip color, layers of mascara or liner, her natural beauty shines through. Her skin is in great condition without having been smeared in foundations of shimmers. Something tells me that Nicki is not willing to give up her favorite lipstick just yet.
Jonathan says
In my opinion she still looks beautiful.
Smeagain says
What can be said? She’s a black gal and ugly with or without the paint.
MeMe says
Excuse me mr/ms racist, Nicki isn’t even black, she is biracial (black and Indian).
Hepcat says

Aleuxis Caple says
Pretty damn fine if u ask me..
Gloria says
You are a b***** and you know what I mean!!
renee says
She is not biracial because her mother is black and she is from the Islands and so is her dad! Get your facts right and don’t believe everything you hear or read or wickipedia!
sarita says
Wow, she looks like a totally different person without the makeup, I would never recognize her on the street. She looks good. Go Nikki!
W.D says
She does have a Disney cartoon look with all that make up on. I bet if you removed all that make up, and wig (if she wears one) you would find Jimmy Hoffa. I thought Tammy Fay, when she was liveing owned MaxFactor, Now it must be Nicki. Natural Beauty does not need to be covered up with make-up.
